For Father's day Laura got me a new part of walking boots to replace my old ones. The above is a play on my old boot brand, new boot brand and the Ridgeline Honda truck that I own.

Taking flight

My friend Robert Greig from g+ posted a photo from http://joyvisionart.blogspot.com/2013/06/time-to-leave-my-post.html?showComment=1371512018010#c1492705714578838898 of a gull taking flight into a beautiful sunset. I commented on joyvisionart that I waited 10 minutes for a gull to take flight from a pole. So, I figured that I should post the photo here in case anyone might want to see it.

Photo take in Chesapeake Beach Maryland.
